5 Best Things:
- Real CPR Help: This feature provides real-time feedback and guidance on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) being performed. It analyzes the depth and rate of chest compressions and provides prompts to assist rescuers in delivering effective CPR.
- CPR-Dpadz Electrodes: The AED Plus uses unique one-piece CPR-Dpadz electrodes that are placed on the victim’s bare chest. These electrodes have a design that includes a built-in sensor to measure the depth and rate of CPR compressions. They also provide feedback on hand placement for optimal resuscitation.
- Clear Visual and Audio Prompts: The device features a large, intuitive display that provides clear visual instructions to guide the rescuer through each step of the rescue process. It also offers audio prompts and alerts to provide further guidance and reassurance during an emergency.
- Real-Time Feedback and Analysis: The AED Plus continuously monitors the victim’s heart rhythm and analyzes the data to determine if a shock is necessary. If a shock is advised, it delivers a biphasic waveform, which is a type of defibrillation pulse that has been shown to be effective in resuscitating individuals experiencing SCA.
- Durability and Portability: The AED Plus is built to withstand harsh environments and has a rugged construction. It is portable and lightweight, making it suitable for various settings such as schools, offices, public spaces, and homes.
